Pine Beams Retrofitted with FRP and Poplar Planks: Mechanical Behavior

Pine Beams Retrofitted with FRP and Poplar Planks: Mechanical Behavior

The paper presents an experimental analysis of the bending behavior of pine beams (<i>Pinus Sylvester</i>) retrofitted with fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) and poplar planks used as external covering. Poplar wood was chosen because of its rapid growth in planted forests, its homogeneity a...
